Gilbert was a true NYC legend. He was there at the door of Sanctuary when I walked in in 1972, he was there at the door when I entered through the thresholds of New York New York, The (original) Loft, Cowboys & Cowgirls, Disco Inferno, The Saint, Limelight, Roxy and most every other club that opened or operated between 1970 and 2000. I never saw him be mean or rude to anyone and yet he always told you just how it was. Gilbert was one of the most stylish and sophisticated people I ever...

This is a group of pieces Jojo is working on now. In the front is a casting of one of his models that is to be a piece called "The Island" it is inspired by a piece that Clive Barker drew, and Jojo has talked to him about bringing it to life in 3-D. I won't reveal the entire concept, just know that last time I was up, Jojo and I went shopping for very, very tiny people. In the background there are two painting that Jojo is working on. He just picked up oil painting, and has finished one, and...

DJ S.J. Hmmmmm... DJ Sammy Jo or DJ Saint James Hmmmmm...

OMG that Sammy Jo is such a narcicist of course he didn't even think of Saint James!

OK, so that's DJ Saint James. Interesting.

All the pomp and pageantry surrounding the death of John Paul II has obscured the fact that the Vatican had been searching for a saint to designate as "the Patron Saint Of the Internet." The number one candidate appears to be Saint Isidore Of Seville, a Sixth Century Spanish bishop and man of letters, whose 20 volume Etymologiae helped preserve a great deal of classical Greek and Roman knowledge through the Dark Ages. Very fitting, huh? Anyway, if you are so inclined, you may already say a...

OK, I bought 'Confessions..." I like it a lot, the sound is bringing back to The Saint and Moonshadow...when K and E were new...morning parties, etc. I guess I'm waxing nostalgic.

Save the robots or Berlin back in the days...then people started dragging me to strange places in cabs...most were dark spaces, with wood floors, and standing fans running, no A/C, no ice in the drinks, warm beer, candle lit dirty bathrooms...I would say there was no electricity but how were those fans running? Then again that extension cord could have been chained several floors down, but oh back then I could care less about such things!!! I was so freaking Naive that I would lift up the...

the saint would close there doors at 4:30 and if you were in "you're IN" IF NOT c ya (unless you were a hot bitch with coke and it didn't matter if you were male or female.) the saint had a weird vibe though. MAYBE TOO MUCH "LOCKER ROOM" ! It was a little militant in it's gayness...or i was just too "sensitive" ? CRISCO"S disco was already gone then. As was"the ice palace" on 57th and 6th.

Well, this is it! The St. Anne parade route is: Good place to meet up with us is Esplanade and Chartres round noon as the parade should be just entering the quarter then. Look for a black parasol with "krewe york" and "new york city" across the back on ribbons and you'll see Daddy and I. Another great place to meet up for late sleepers is Royal and Canal, where St. Anne watches Rex. And there is of course the river, which I am determined to make this year. Seven, basil, st. eve, layard and...

Actually Daddy, the concept of travel being an exclusive province of the rich started in the 1600s (with the European "Grand Tour"). It was the Victorians that ruined travel for the high rollers with their railroads, opening sea bathing resorts wherever it was warm. And for the middle classes, egads! But the Victorians and Edwardians did help popularize travel to far-off locales. After all, they owned all of those places, including St. Martin/Maarten & Anguilla, and it was either the...

Empress, thank you. This site is great reading. It's a micro-social history. The Saint section is also really good.

Some great Dances of Vice events happening this month! ~Satori -------------- October 17th: "The Importance of Being Wilde" @ 303 Bond Street If beauty is your religion, you are hereby summoned to join your fellow dandies, fops, narcissists and coquettes at "Dances of Vice: The Importance of Being Wilde" for an evening of peacockery and temptations to celebrate the birthday of DOV patron saint and godfather of glam Oscar Wilde - featuring glitter rock ballads from glam phenomenon MICHAEL T...

valentine's weekend brought some NYC superstars to the city by the bay. cazwell and amanda lepore were here to perform at a party and (more importantly) shoot her new video, directed by leo herrera. word on the street is it's GORGEOUS. ALSO... mizz justin bond performed last night to a sold out castro theatre. she did the carpenters' "close to you" album in its entirety, and more for encores. such a romantical way to spend v-day. she looked FABULOUS, sounded great, and had the cockettes...

Well, he was right. It is the American way. And bringing it all back to "Disco"... there would be no Disco without drugs. One thing that "The Kids" today don't realize is how "60's" the "70's" were. Disco was a child of the free-wheeling hippies of the 1960's. It was very free love, good times, good drugs etc... The Paradise Garage was a psychedelic experience. You took acid or mushrooms or something like that at the Garage and The Saint. (It wasn't until the 80's that coke and heroin came...

On a much much darker note, this is the most powerful piece I've run into so far. A stencil of the now infamous Lynddie England image from Abu Ghraib, found in DUMBO. Already chilling, the Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote from "The Little Prince" drives it home on so many levels. "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." I don't know much about the artist(s) yet. ~Satori

Happy Fat Tuesday everyone. We always feel great on carnival day, and though we'll be spending our Fat Tuesday at Sotheby's and Bergdorf Goodman (I'm covering a corset lecture and Johnny is DJing) instead of at the Bourbon Street Awards as originally planned, our hearts are there with King Zulu, the spy boys and Big Chiefs, and of course, the ghost of the great Lee Brewster, who NEVER missed a year. As a bit of penance I'll be bringing in a few stray New Orleans posts from around the boards,...

While not formally introduced to Sylvia, I'll never forget the first time Rose pointed her out at the rally across the street from Twilo. Rose's own sense of awe and appreciation registered Ms. Rivera immediately as a living saint. Her brand of righteousness was a burning flame, so bright and very, very hot indeed. She had a radiant presence and a fierce devotion to her cause, clear as crystal from twenty paces away. You could tell the woman had seen it all, been to Heaven and Hell countless...

Sylvia Rivera in Life and Death-Legendary Figure Dies at 50 Colorful Pioneer of the Stonewall Era Crusaded until the End Had 'Finally Gotten Her Life in Good Shape' say Old Friends By Randolfe H. Wicker/Gay Today (site) New York, New York--Sylvia Rivera, perhaps the most famous survivor of the 1969 uprising outside New York City's Stonewall Bar, had finally gotten her life in order during the past three years. Always an activist, she had finally achieved sobriety, developed a long term...

Rivera, was known for her brashness and compassion. By INGA SORENSEN The street can breed a mean streak, and it can take you down. For Sylvia Rivera, it did neither. Sure, folks who knew her over the years say she could be tough, to put it mildly. She was, after all, orphaned at the age of 3 and hustling on Gotham�s unrelenting streets by her early teens. She was, for so many years, one tenacious street queen; appropriately, she was among the fed-up queers rebelling at the Stonewall Inn in...

Cheers DeeDee! There is a very real cycle to nature itself at play currently, things must die for the new to sprout forth. (And death in this town, like everything else is over-kill!) I promise you, 19 year-olds are just as hungry for sonic electronic hardcore penetration now as much as, if not more than, they ever have been. Mi7 is closed, not due to bad attendance, attendence was growing. It had three other strikes against it's future there: Club management geared towards profit-without...

Hattie, MU, and Chi Chi... This was that TOTALLY wacked out site/person/troupe???? I was telling you about after Magique: Shaye Saint John I put it here, instead of under "Mondo Internet" because she/they do do live "performances" I think you should book her for Magique XXXOOO S

The indefatigable Liz Smith holds forth on Madge in yesterday's column. So her last tour wasn't so hot, and now she's serving up the Greatest Hits. I, for one, am glad. As noted below, she's never "embraced her body of work." Even in her first tours she often omitted favorites like Burning Up and Borderline in favor of giving space to newer material. This should be fun, if she'll just relax and sing rather than nervously trying to sing. 'TO rule the world," said Madonna in 1984 after being...
